Dear Chairman Harrison and Members of the DNC, I know some of you well. A few of you are among my oldest friends. Others of you I have never met. But all of you are my family, as public servants and fellow Americans. Families tell one another the truth, as Read more…

I am a believer in capitalism. And for capitalism to work, labor must be able to bargain collectively to maintain decent working conditions and keep a fair share of its productivity.

For 40 years, I’ve stood among the leadership of the environmental movement crafting sensible market-based solutions for reducing our deadly addiction to oil and coal.
